This means you have to sit through another loony post, but it really does give you a… read full entry »
With the coming of 2008 I’m “celebrating” about 8-9 years on the Internet. In this time I’ve seen some pretty loony people. I’m sure the majority of you are familiar with Krystole, the Internet’s very own layout kleptomaniac? Yep, she’s a bloody loony. Some of you may also know of Janet who owns fuzzypinkslippers.com?

This month, Google has finally given word on the recent controversy regarding the dropping of PageRank amongst those who sell links. As well as an update on the official Google blog, Matt Cutts (that guy who works for Google) has composed an interesting and informative post on the subject (Selling links that pass pagerank.)

Yes, I did it. It’s November 30th and I have posted every single day. I am so proud of myself, which is kind of stupid because it’s only a blog for crying out loud. :S Nonetheless, I am glad that I did it, It’s taught me a thing or two. Firstly, before I review “behind… read full entry »
